  • Reception drinks the evening before the marathon
  • Team Strava and Whatsapp group

Our charity places for the TCS London Marathon 2026 are now full. If you have your own place in the event, through the ballot or a good for age place, there is still plenty of time to join our team. We’d love to have you, and will offer all of the same support as our charity runners, just asking you to raise as much sponsorship as you can.
